“Global business value derived from artificial intelligence (AI) is projected to total $1.2 trillion in 2018, an increase of 70 percent from 2017, according to Gartner, Inc. AI-derived business value is forecast to reach $3.9 trillion in 2022.”1

As application vendors race to put AI into their products to deliver differentiating value, they are often faced with the choice of whether they should invest in developing home grown technology, which comes with the costs of time-to-market delay, R&D, support and maintenance, or embed proven technology to accelerate time-to-market. For the latter, it is critical to holistically evaluate a partnership beyond just the technology itself to ensure sustainable success. We are delighted to invite you to our live webcast where David Humphrey, Micro Focus CTO for unstructured data analytics, will discuss the following:

As organizations go through a digital transformation, they must remain competitive by delivering value faster, while maintaining high quality and security. This webinar will explore how organizations can minimize risk and maximize user satisfaction by testing early and often, from development through to production, and acting on feedback on security, functionality, performance, and readiness status.

Join this webinar to learn:
• Why test automation is a critical factor for continuous testing in order to make fast delivery happen, despite the costs and complexities involved
• The importance of including performance testing in the DevOps pipeline why it must be part of the “Definition of Done”
• How DevOps practices must build good security practices in from the start to avoid the delivery of vulnerabilities to internal and external threats

Organizations of every size and industry are going through a digital transformation to adapt to new technologies and ways of doing business. A recent survey conducted by IDC across 420 large European organizations shows that a sure way to gain both business and technology benefits is to scale up existing DevOps practices. In this webinar, we’ll present the findings from the IDC survey, and present a blueprint to help organizations accelerate their journey to enterprise-scale DevOps.

Join this webinar to learn:
• How and why IDC classifies organizations into two distinct groups: The protagonists of DevOps, called ‘DevOps Determined’; and those struggling to scale DevOps, called ‘DevOps Distracted’
• How to transition to a ‘DevOps Determined’ organization
• How the Micro Focus Enterprise DevOps portfolio helps organizations to build and deliver better software faster, and enables them to become ‘DevOps Determined’ on their journey to enterprise-scale DevOps

Release Management, much like Waterfall Development, is no longer drawn out over months or sometimes years. With the advent of Agile, the goal is to release more often and as a result, be more efficient. How do we achieve these expectations when we must adhere to regulations, policies, security requirements and complex technology? DevOps is commonly the answer, but what does that mean?

This session will provide an overview of some of the DevOps best practices that customers are implementing to ensure their frequent release cycles are shorter and more successful.

Attend this webinar and you will:
• Understand how to define and coordinate Release Management activities with other DevOps activities, such as Continuous Integration/Delivery/Testing
• Learn best practices for release process governance
• Discover how to gain visibility into your release process

Driving greater velocity and agility in the delivery process is critical today. As you move code from Dev into Ops, you need to ensure that the code is not only functionally complete, but also is secure and performs as expected. With the automation of delivery, you also need to understand how the current state of Ops is relevant for the work done in Dev. Rapid and error-free delivery of features that are secure is now an expectation. Attend this webinar and learn how you can ensure security while delivering quality applications with greater velocity.

Join us and hear about:
• Best practices for continuous quality in the delivery pipeline
• Why security must be part of the conversation from the start
• The importance of collaboration across all teams
• How Micro Focus can help you ensure security and quality across the disparate components of the delivery pipeline

Hear what is top of mind for QA and testing for IT leaders just like you.

One of the key findings of the report is that for the first time, end user satisfaction is now a top priority for QA and testing.

DevOps accelerates more than application delivery. It transforms business ideas into customer value by automating and orchestrating continuous delivery pipelines, to securely deliver quality software and services faster. Teams are often spread across the globe supporting both traditional and hybrid IT environments. How do you streamline the delivery pipeline while ensuring collaboration? Join us to hear ways to successfully improve your delivery pipelines across large enterprise organizations, from our experts Julian Fish and Mark Levy.

This webinar will cover how to:
• Map and manage value streams
• Address common constraints in the delivery pipeline flow

SAP modernization presents a combination of business challenges and technical challenges, both of which must be overcome in order to achieve a successful transformation. For best results, the business experts and the technical experts must work together on the transformation, and in particular, when testing updates to the SAP system. Scriptless testing is the most effective way to bridge the gap between those with an intimate understanding of the business processes, and those more at home with the technical details of SAP.

This webinar will explore some of the challenges of testing SAP systems, and explain how scriptless test automation, using Micro Focus Business Process Testing (BPT), allows business users to define the processes, flows and data to be tested, while automation engineers implement the automated components that form each test’s building blocks.

Takeaways
• Understand the challenges of testing of critical systems such as SAP
• Discover how scriptless testing can bring technical and business experts together to create effective automated tests
• Understand how the components underlying scriptless test can be reused across different tests, and maintained with ease

With dozens of web browsers and thousands of mobile devices needed to validate your app, functional testing must evolve to stay on time. Without a test lab to help, running down the clock is inevitable and today's testing tools need to do more than write and maintain tests. Teams need to run tests across many browsers and devices, gather actionable insight when issues are detected, and focus their testing effort for the greatest impact.

In this webinar, you'll learn:
• How to prioritize which environments to test
• How to run your app across mobile devices and browsers
• Insights to identify and resolve false positive errors after a test run

By the end of this session, you'll be able to make the most of your cross-browser testing and add some time back into your day.

DevOps is about balancing tools, processes, and people. As teams roll out tooling to support their DevOps processes, developers are experiencing huge gains in the form of increased velocity and operational efficiencies. In some cases, though, this can come with a price in the form of reduced quality assurance.

Quality is the entire team’s responsibility, but QA professionals know the processes and techniques needed to right-size testing, identify and track bugs quickly, and discover the root of a problem.

This web seminar will use real-world examples to show how virtualization, cloud technologies, artificial intelligence, and analytics are converging to lower the barriers to delivering functional and performance automation at scale.

You will learn how to:
• Use continuous integration for pipeline-driven continuous testing
• Implement performance and functional validation for continuous testing
• Make virtualization, cloud technologies, and AI part of your environment

According to the World Quality 2017-2018 report, 96% of respondents have adopted Agile, but a large percentage of them are also still using waterfall.

One of the challenges is how to bring these two platforms together and choose the best scaled agile that fits your organization, to continuously deliver quality applications.

In this webinar, Peter Vollmer (SPCT), Sridar Aladhi Venkatakrishnaiah (SPC) and Silvia Davis (SPC) will share their knowledge of the most common Scaled Agile frameworks, their nuances and tips on how to choose the right one for your needs.

Are you getting that mobile moment? Do you know what your users are really experiencing when using your app? Do you wonder where the bad rating comes from you got after the latest release of your app?

Mobile user experience is actually very complicated to catch and measure, it is multi-facetted. In this webinar we will cover the most important aspects of a 5-Star mobile user experience and how you can really measure and monitor it.

In a live example we will then show you how easy it is to get it done.

Mobile Users don’t accept bad performance or dysfunctional applications and abandon bad apps with a wipe of their hand. Bad mobile applications are far more complex to test given the fragmentation of devices out there and different network conditions in real life that are difficult to simulate in development labs.

In this webinar we cover the Micro Focus approach to these issues and provide a live showcase on how to secure a stable app that exactly does what it is supposed to do.

In this webinar we will provide an overview on how Micro Focus Mobile Lifecycle Solutions enable enterprises to build, test, secure and monitor mobile and web applications that provide a superior user experience. The new SLA of any truly digital enterprise.
